M. F. Zawrah et al.

Summary: The main goal of this study is to recycle industrial solid wastes by fabricating sintered ceramic bodies using low-rate firing of geopolymer. The results showed that firing of dried geopolymers led to the formation of a new nepheline phase in addition to the originally existed quartz phase. The sintered ceramic bodies obtained had relatively compacted microstructures, lower porosities, and higher densities compared to dried geopolymers. Furthermore, the geopolymer fired at 1000 degrees C exhibited improved physical and mechanical properties than that fired at 900 degrees C.

Study on the interfacial characteristics and crack propagation of 630 stainless steel fabricated by hybrid additive manufacturing (additional DED building on L-PBFed substrate)

Tae Geon Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that the interfacial characteristics, hardness, and crack propagation properties of materials deposited by hybrid metal additive manufacturing processes (L-PBFed and DEDed) vary depending on the relative building directions. Defects at the interface between PBFed and DEDed were due to oxidized powder and non-uniform powder distribution, resulting in different retained austenite fractions and hardness between the DEDed and L-PBFed regions. Despite interfacial defects, crack resistance increased when crack propagation direction was perpendicular to the L-PBFed layer plane, but cracks progressed rapidly when propagation direction was parallel to the interlayer plane.
